Description
Erinvale Golf Course was selected as the venue for the 1996 World Cup of Golf, the only South African course ever to have been so honoured. Situated at the foot of the Hottenstots Holland and Helderberg Mountains in Somerset West, this is one of the best and most beautiful golf courses in South Africa. This Gary Player design is a course of two separate and contrasting nine holes. The front nine meanders through flat parkland terrain and the many houses on this part of the estate, while the back nine climbs drastically up the mountain with views of the coastline from the top holes. There is a lot of water and some unusual pothole sand traps.
Playing the Course
This is a great course with world class greens and fairways and spectacular views! The only let-down is the houses on this estate course which make the fairways very tight and difficult thus restricting higher handicapped golfers.
The signature hole is on the par-four 17th, a finishing hole that is a test of nerves for any golfer! Playing downhill from an elevated tee, this hole is long and narrow, with tall pines flanking one side and an out-of-bounds on the other.
